Yacht Design Engineer; Hull, Outfitting, Exterior

Yacht Design Engineer (Hull, Outfitting, Exterior)

As a  Yacht Design Engineer (Hull, Outfitting, Exterior) , you will play a key role in turning yacht design plans into detailed engineering output that can actually be built. You will work on hull construction, outfitting, and exterior structures for high-end custom and semi-custom yachts, contributing directly to technically demanding projects in the 60‑70 metre segment.

This is a role for someone who already understands how ships are built and can work confidently in a 3D parametric design environment. CATIA is the main platform used, and experience with Siemens NX is considered highly relevant.

You will work closely with engineering colleagues and production teams, helping to ensure that designs are practical, accurate, and aligned with the realities of yacht construction. Because all major build phases are handled in-house, you will have direct exposure to the full construction process and see how your work translates into the actual yacht.

It is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys technically complex projects, wants to work across multiple shipbuilding disciplines, and likes the idea of contributing to yachts built to extremely high standards.

What you will do

Develop and maintain detailed 3D engineering models and technical drawings for hull construction, outfitting, and exterior structures

Translate yacht design plans into accurate construction‑ready engineering documentation

Work in CATIA to create parametric models that support efficient manufacturing and assembly

Support the engineering of both custom and semi-custom yachts in the 60–70 metre range

Ensure technical designs comply with shipbuilding standards, class requirements, and internal quality standards

Collaborate closely with production and engineering teams to resolve technical issues and improve buildability

Contribute to an efficient build process by delivering clear, practical, and high‑quality engineering output

Work across different shipbuilding areas rather than being limited to one specialist discipline

Where you will work
Would you like to work in a high‑end yacht building environment where engineering and production are closely connected? This opportunity places you in a technically strong shipbuilding team working on luxury yachts built to extremely high standards.

You will be part of a shipbuilding engineering environment where customisation, technical quality, and collaboration are central. The team works closely with the shipyard, which means your designs are not created in isolation but directly linked to the build process.

High‑end custom and semi‑custom yacht projects

Strong integration between engineering and shipyard operations

Focus on practical, buildable technical solutions

International and collaborative team environment

Excellent exposure to the full yacht construction process

What you already have

BSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Maritime Technology, or another relevant technical discipline.

2+ years of experience in yacht building design engineering.

Experience with CATIA for 3D parametric modelling is preferred. Siemens NX is a strong alternative.

Solid understanding of yacht construction methods, built packages, welding, and production processes.

Experience in construction design within the shipbuilding sector.

Ability to work across hull, outfitting, and exterior engineering topics rather than in a narrow specialist niche.

Good command of English, both written and spoken.
